BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

A current high-speed braiding machine of a braided rope is suitable for braiding a variety of circular or flat non-elastic and elastic braided ropes, and involves braided varieties including various shoelaces, elastic bands, high-tension bands, sports belts, curtain tapes and the like. The existing high-speed braiding machine of the braided rope has the advantages of fast braiding, diversified braiding types and simple operation, but has relatively low machine operating stability, resulting in unstable product quality, loud noise, short service life and maintenance inconvenience.

In a structure of the braiding machine of the braided rope, a gallop knitting ingot is a key component of the machine. How the gallop knitting ingot performs cross braiding on a disk surface stably and rapidly plays a decisive role in quality and pattern of braiding the braided rope by the machine. The existing gallop knitting ingot causes relatively low yield per unit time for the braiding machine of the braided rope.
